अतिक्रमेच्च माहात्म्याद्‌ दिष्टमप्यर्थपर्ययम्‌ । अतिक्रान्ते च लोकानामभावो नियतं भवेत्‌,“ये अपनी महिमासे दैवके भी निश्चित विधानको पलट सकते हैं; यदि ऐसा हुआ तो सम्पूर्ण लोकोंका अवश्य ही अन्त हो जायगा

atikramec ca mahātmyād diṣṭam apy artha-paryayam | atikrānte ca lokānām abhāvo niyataṁ bhavet ||

សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ «ដោយសារភាពអស្ចារ្យដ៏មហិមា មនុស្សម្នាក់អាចបង្វែរបានសូម្បីតែអ្វីដែលវាសនាបានកំណត់ ប្រែបំផ្លាញលំដាប់ហេតុការណ៍ដែលបានចែងទុក។ ប៉ុន្តែបើមានការលើសលំដាប់ច្បាប់សកលដូច្នោះ ការរលាយបាត់នៃលោកទាំងអស់នឹងកើតឡើងជាចាំបាច់។»

Educational Q&A

Even if extraordinary power could overturn destiny, violating the ordained cosmic order (dharma/niyati) is portrayed as destabilizing reality itself; ethical restraint is implied because unchecked overriding of fate leads to universal ruin.

Sañjaya comments on the stakes of actions in the war: he frames certain potential reversals of what is divinely fixed as not merely personal or political, but as a threat to the stability of the entire world-order.
